Newsworthy can also be found under the “Stuff” menu and also displays in the sidebar of some of our pages (scroll down).

New Process:
Instead of sending an invitation through the Gmail calendar (which some folks are having an issue with) and then sending a separate “evite” to get potluck signups, etc. we will simply send an email with the link to the RSVP page for the event.  Complete the form and you are ready to go.  NOTE: THIS WILL NOT ADD THE EVENT TO YOUR CALENDAR, you will have to add it manually. All of our events will still appear on our website calendar. I have created two examples for you to look at on our TEST site: 
Example 1: September Chapter Meeting (http://is.gd/onuquj)  which only requires an RSVP.
Example 2: The Holiday Party (http://is.gd/ejuhal) which requires a food sign up.

If you have any questions, please email me at WebMistress@SierraBMWCarClub.org

We did not take European Delivery but we did rent a BMW 320d touring (not a wagon) which we enjoyed greatly on the Autobahn! 
So sit back, relax and take the museum tour with us (click here to video slideshow).

On July 12th, the club had it’s second annual Summer Picnic. This year we held it at Bower’s Mansion which is half way between Reno and Carson City just off Rt. 580. We had our own pavilion right next to the playground so it was perfect for the kids to play and pass the time away. Andy Goodrich did the grilling honors again this year. The burgers, sausages and hot dogs were delicious. All the members brought salads, appetizers and desserts so we had plenty of food. The Mazuryk’s even brought some pizzas for the group. A big thank you to Sharon Goodrich for putting this all together again this year. We had 20 families show up which was a wonderful turnout.

In August we have two events which the club looks forward to each year. August 8th is the Sierra Buttes Tour/Poker Run. If you haven’t tried it yet, come join us. We end up having lunch at Longboard’s Bar & Grill at Plumas Pines Golf Resort. Andy and Sharon Goodrich are taking the lead again this year and I know they will have a nice gift for the winner of the Poker Run. On August 13th, we will have out annual Potluck meeting at our house. We had 40 members come last year and I would love to beat the record this year for member attendance so sign up and come to ArrowCreek for a great time.

I know it is a year away but BMWCCA is coming back to Monterey for the 2016 Oktoberfest in August! This is a very special Oktoberfest because it marks the 100th year of BMW. There are very good rumors that BMW is bringing over many of the classic BMW’s from their museum. Jeff Warner mentioned in our meeting a few months ago that he will be attending and would love to have many of the club members attend. Stay tuned for more information in the coming newsletters but make a mental note to try and come next year!!
Happy motoring,
Pat McGoff

We lucked out on the weather since it rained the previous day and the day after the event. We had a total of 15 cars this year which tied the record from the previous year. We traveled over Mt. Rose Highway stopped at the Lake for a Kodak moment, then on to Incline Village for a rest stop at Starbucks. Jeff Warner met us there to say hello. He still doesn’t have his M5 in working order so he didn’t join us. We continued down Lake Tahoe and up Rt. 50 to Carson City. From there we went up Rt. 341 to Virginia City for a great lunch at the Palace Restaurant. Food and service at the Palace were great as always.

Virginia City is an experience going back 150 years. Let your adventure begin with a step back in time. The 19th century mining boom turned Virginia City into the most important settlement between Denver and San Francisco; and grubby prospectors into instant millionaires. They built mansions, imported furniture and fashions from Europe and the Orient, and helped finance the Civil War… and then went on to build empires around the world. The finest example being San Francisco. Click here for information about Virgina City.
